- Consumer Reports magazine ranked the Tesla Model S its Best Overall in the respected consumer organization's 2014 annual auto issue. The Christie administration is working to make it harder to buy one in New Jersey.

"The Tesla is a glimpse into a future where cars and computers coexist in seamless harmony," the magazine said as part of its lavish praise of the electric luxury car. It scored a 99 out of a possible 100 points and is said to get overall 84 miles per gallon equivalent. At almost $90,000 for this model after "green" federal tax incentives, it seems like a peek into things to come.
